Henderson Hills believes seniors play a vital role in the body of Christ. We are committed to providing fellowship and fostering their enthusiastic love for Christ.
The senior adults at Henderson Hills - loosely categorized as anyone age 63 years and older - have a vibrant and active ministry. Seniors enjoy the flexibility of reduced work hours or retirement, which gives more time for Bible study, fellowship, and volunteer work.
Senior Adult Dinner
On the second Tuesday of each month at 6 pm, the Senior Adult Ministry hosts a catered meal and entertainment in the HHBC Activities Center. The entertainment varies but has included jazz bands, singers, comedy acts, and featured speakers. The church provides the entree and attendees bring side dishes, salads or desserts to share. There is no charge and guests are always welcome.

Mentoring
Senior adults make excellent mentors. Mature believers are needed to help younger believers deepen their walk with Christ. Sometimes a person going through a medical crisis needs a mentor who's already experienced this crisis. Other times a mentor may be able to share skills learned in parenting, on the job, or in life. Learn more about mentoring by contacting these Mentoring Coordinators:
Women: Pam McDougal | Men: Phil Sallee | Students: Patty Barnes
Activities
Periodically, the Senior Adults plan short trips and local activities. Past outings include touring the 'Passage' Bible exhibit, eating fried chicken at Ischen's, attending movies, riding the riverboats on the Bricktown canal, and more.
